LOYOLA MAROON Vol. L no. 10 November 15, 1973 Arming security guards up to SGA By Vicki Salloum MAROON ADMINISTRATION REPORTER Student input into the decision to arm Loyola security guards will come through the Student Government Association, said Rev. James C. Carter, SJ., University Provost. "If the SGA says arm all security guards, I will advise Knipfing (Dean of Student Affairs) to arm all who are sufficiently trained. If the SGA says it doesn't want armed security guards, I'll so instruct Knipfing," Carter said at WLDC-TV's "University Press Conference" which was taped Tuesday for broadcast at 11:4S a.m. today. Carter said that both Knipfing and Jack Kellogg, Loyola Security Director, felt strongly that they would never arm officers who were inadequately trained, and if officers need to carry pistols, they will be trained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Although questioning the need for an armed security force, Carter said he has authorized Knipfing and Kellogg to respond with "minimum force" if students felt a need for such protection. "I define that to mean I wouldn't like to see more than one officer armed at a time between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Perhaps another officer could be armed and on duty for dances, but he would stand in patrol for that purpose only," he CARTER-"If the SGA says arm all security guards, 1 will advise Knipfing (Dean of Student Affairs) to arm all who are sufficiently trained. If the SGA says it doesn't want armed security guards, I'll so instruct Knipfing." Carter: no moral obligation By Vicki Salloum MAROON ADMINISTRATION REPORTER The university has no moral obligation to limit tuition increases, said Rev. James C. Carter, SJ., University Provost, to a gathering of less than 50 students at both the November 12th and 13th tuition convocations. "No more than a man selling steak has a moral obligation to keep his prcies the same the next week when his costs are rising," he said responding to one student's query. He added that the university had never promised not to raise tuition but only to hold tuition down as long as it was financially feasible. Carter said the proposed increase results from a leveling off of student enrollment in the midst of rising inflation. The increase will not provide for new services, he added, but will only cover increased operational expenses. "We would like to get some faculty members with a low student/faculty ratio beating the bushes for students. We hope to solve the problem of a small student/faculty ratio by getting more students here but the market is getting smaller and smaller," he said. Because it is difficult to know how many students will enter a program in a given year, it will be hard to solve this problem, said Cartel who added that IS lull-time equivalent faculty positions have been eliminated by attrition in the last few years. "The problem is declining enrollment and tenured faculty. You just can't fire tenured faculty, the only way you can get rid of them is to assassinate them. You can ask a tenured faculty member to replace someone who has resigned or expired, but you just can't drop him from the staff." he said. There is an exception where tenured faculty can be released, but. "it is a long, involved process," he explained. In the case of financial exigency, it could be announced that cut backs are necessary and faculty members can then be given a year's notice. 'This is an emotionally charged situation in which the atmosphere couhl get very political. Releasing faculty to make the student/faculty ration more suitable is the least desirable way to go about it," he said. The motion before the Board of Directors meeting today will be for a SlOO tuition raise in 11D74llD74 with corresponding raises over the next three years until a S2lOO increase is reached. Carter stated.
